Apart from the heatsink and the heatsink fan, your computer comes equipped with at least two internal fans. One fan draws in outside air to help cool off your internal computer components, the other fan ejects hot air outside of your computer case.

If your computer is running hotter, one of your internal computer fans may be malfunctioning. Another way to tell whether there is a problem with your computer fans is by the amount of noise that they make. A noisy fan may be as bad as it sounds.

Before you go all out and replace your computer fans in an on-the-spot PC upgrade, try cleaning the fan to fix the problem first. Sometimes, dirt prevents your fans from performing its cooling duties efficiently. If your overheating problem persists, then you really need to consider your available options of replacement fans.

If you are using high-end computer parts, you should seriously consider installing extra cooling fans inside your computer case. Fast-spinnin g hard disk drive, graphics cards and the processor all give off a lot of heat when you are running resource-draining programs and applications. These computer components will need more than the normal heatsink fan and two standard cooling fans to help them cool off.

A fast-spinning fan naturally makes a lot of noise. If you are concerned about the noise that your computer fans make, buy a larger fan that spins at a slower speed.

After you get your replacement fans, make sure that you set them up properly. The fans should efficiently guide air around your case. Cool air needs to come inside at one point, be swirled around the case by your extra fans, and finally, be guided outside one side of your case. You may have to do some case modding to make room for the extra cooling fans, but their benefits will make it worth your while!

Question by sapient45: computer fan? i am trying to make my computer fan into a portable fan. so i took the fan out of my desktop. now there are 3 wires. blue red and black. which one goes to the plus and negative? i tried all the possible combination, but it does not seem to work. is it because my fan needs dc power? or i need more powerful batteries (im using double aa) Best answer for computer fan?:

Answer by stu_the_kilted_scot
Fan needs 12v I suspect, also the yellow lead is a return feed to report RPMs of the fan, not 100% sure it can run without something on that. Use a fan that is designed to hook to a proper 12V DC line, the ones that come with hard drive pass through connectors, or go to a "cheapy shop" and but a small fan with folding blades that IS designed to run on batteries.

Answer by schnufffel
red is plus, black is - ,yellow is rpm signal, you dont need you need minimum 7-8-9 Volt power, with six or seven AA Batteries it works but not for a long time, the size is to small.

Answer by silencetheevil8
a Computer fan will not run under 10 volts period, they also will not run in reverse polarity either. You would need at least 8 AA's to accomplish this (not very practical). The extra wire is a rpm feed to the MOBO and isn't required to make the fan run.
